Furutech Extends Clear Line Range With New NCF Clear Line-USB & -LAN Passive Line Optimisers
Furutech extends Clear Line range with new NCF Clear Line-USB & -LAN passive line optimisers...
Furutech, manufacturer of ultra-refined audio and video cable and accessories, announces the release of the NCF Clear Line USB and NCF Clear Line LAN, two audiograde passive optimisers designed to enhance the playback performance of digital and network music source components and preamplifiers.
Furutech’s Clear Line range first launched in 2020 with the NCF Clear Line AC optimizer, designed to instantly enhance the quality of your system’s power supply. This was followed in 2023 by the NCF Clear Line-RCA and –XLR line optimisers, honing in on signal line quality. Now, two new USB and LAN type versions will deliver comparable improvements to your digital and network devices.
Both feature Furutech’s unique Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF). This proprietary material is the cumulative result of Furutech’s 30-plus year effort to eliminate electrical and mechanical resonance from signal and power transmission in high-performance audio and video applications. Created by Furutech, NCF is found exclusively in Furutech products.
Each of the NCF Clear Line models is passive, small enough to hold in your hand and effortless to use: simply plug the unit into any vacant socket of your music source components or preamplifiers. By drawing out and dampening vibrations from within the component, these devices significantly reduce the noise floor and enhance the signal-to-noise ratio.
The result is a cleaner presentation of low frequencies, enhanced definition and a heightened sense of musicality that showcases every detail and texture. The soundstage gains clarity and openness, while the tonal balance becomes more refined across the entire frequency range.
In the NCF Clear Line range, Furutech has introduced perhaps the most accessible ‘plug and play’ way to bring the benefits of NCF technology into your home, taking your listening enjoyment to the next level.
